Newport had a couple of underclassman shoot the ball really well from outside the 3 point line. #4 shot the ball extremely well, I think he is a freshman. Made some deep threes in both JV and Varsity.

 

Makhi McGuire is a freshman (and has an 8th grade birthday), and has deep, deep, range on his jump shot. He is approaching 6'. As he continues to develop his ability to drive, and gets a little quicker with his release, he will be a scoring machine. I predict alot of pts in his HS career. He is an unbelievable FT shooter, but doesn't get to the line enough because, at this stage of his career, he prefers to stand on the perimeter. When he starts driving it, and starts getting to the line 5 - 6 times per game, his game will be fun to watch.

 

He plays AAU with NKY Legends, and hit the 2 game winning FTs in the National Championship game. He is a zone buster, and with his range, it is tough for a zone to extend that far. I just wish he would learn to guard someone. :idunno:

I have always believed you have to want to guard someone. Hope he realizes his talent and keeps improving.

I have a very serious question for those "in the know". Any chance that both Snapp's are no longer part of the program after this year?

Both? Ethan will be at Urbana and Rod will be staying put. Unless something drastic happens to him personally, I see him back.

Did Wiggins play?

Snapp will be gone if there are openings and it matches his job description. Write It down. There is only so much you can take.

I think he was the kid that stormed out during halftime, due to lack of playing time. :lol2:

I'm fairly certain, actually I'm 110% certain, you'll see Snapp on the bench for a few more years at least. Write it down.

He's really a game changer and the Wildcats won't stand a chance in post season play until they learn how to utilize him. Frustrating really that Wiggins is being so sadly overlooked. It's as if he doesn't exist. :no:
